The 'E' Type Forum

Hi everybody, I mounted an adaptable aluminum radiator 8 years ago on my S1 4.2 cabriolet, and it has always leaked slightly. I had it repaired and it still leaks a little. In the end, I don't want to hear about aluminum radiators anymore. Indeed, they are difficult to repair and often of poor quali...

Hello, to answer your questions, if the Autolift3000 is compatible with my E-type OTS, it is compatible with a 2 + 2. In addition, the two trays are 80 cm long, so the weight of the car is distributed over 160 cm. Thus, there is no risk of damaging the structure of the car, provided you press in the...

For fun, I am also enclosing the photo of my Peugeot 504 V6 convertible, today, in all its forms ...

And here is the result today.

Here are some pictures of the mechanics.

Hello everybody, I just realized that it's been more than 8 years I am on this forum, and I never introduced myself ... It is never too late to do well! My name is Jacques, I am 51 years old and I am an electronics and computer engineer. A fan of fine mechanics since I was young, I fell in love with...

Hello, I chose the Autolift3000 solution a month ago. The 2 trays slide and can adapt in width to the Jaguar E-type, by putting them to the minimum. To ensure maximum safety, I add 2 pieces of tube to block the trays at a minimum. This system allows the car to be mounted at 60 cm in the middle, so a...

The bottom photo shows the dismantling. Indeed, for the reassembly it is indeed necessary to push on the outer race of the bearings, in order not to damage them, in accordance with the photo.
I send you too the final picture.

Thank you Jerome for this remark.

Hello, Jaguar E-type spare parts do not offer a repair kit for the belt tensioner pulley. It is only proposed to buy back the complete pulley. I offer you a small tutorial which allows you to replace only the bearing part and thus refurbish your pulley: 1- Remove the tensioner pulley by unscrewing i...

Hello, for the removal of the "front timing cover", the workshop manual says that the cylinder head must be removed. Now, I offer you a method to do this without removing the cylinder head: 1- First of all, disassemble the oil sump. I just did a tutorial on this subject, on this forum. 2- Remove the...

Hello, I have just dismantled the oil sump from my type E S1 4.2, and this operation is not easy if the engine is in the car and is poorly explained in the Jaguar manual. For this, I offer you a tutorial that makes things easier. To start, you have to disassemble : 1- the sump drain plug to remove t...

Hello, Following the disassembly of the oil sump of my E type (to deal with an oil leak), I was lucky enough to realize that the shoe of the lower chain tensioner had come off and had fallen to the bottom of the housing (see attached photos). I really came close to the engine failure ... This ROLON ...

Hello, To dismantle the "reaction plate", I found an interesting video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mrVqrOLuQ4 But in the end, I followed the procedure in the B67 manual, which is a bit different, but requires making 2 bars : 10 inch length, 3/8 diameter, rounded end. But, after putt...

Hello, I tried the operation last weekend on one side only (3 hours work). I therefore confirm that it is possible to change the brake pads without removing the complete suspension but it is very painful. By cons, it is impossible to remove the hand brake pads without dismanting the handbrake system...

Hello, Has anyone ever been able to change the hand brake pads without removing the complete rear suspension. My S1 rear end was brand new (with Series 2 calipers), and I have a pad lining that has taken off the metal. I am wondering if it is possible to change it by dismantling piece by piece the c...
